When Bright Star kids got in touch with me a couple of months ago to advertise on Sleepless Nights, they also offered me some iron on labels to review.
Now, I absolutely loathe ironing, but I loathe losing expensive school clothing even more, so today I finally got around to labelling Amy’s school clothes. Well, the school clothes that are currently in her drawers – the stuff that is in the washing basket will get done… soon.
Anyway, my crappy housekeeping skills aside, I got the iron out, sorted out a towel on top of the freezer for ironing on and set to work.
I was a little worried as I peeled the label off the backing, it felt quite stiff and I worried that it would chafe at Amy’s neck, but once I’d ironed it, it softed up nicely and felt like a regular iron on transfer.
While Amy is only in Kinder and so I don’t need to label very many of her clothes (jumpers and coats mostly), I have enough labels to save in my files and use when she gets older and has more uniform and things like camp.
And, you can choose what colour you’d like the name to be as well, for those children who have opinions about things. Like mine. Amy got pink labels.
I thought about taking photos of the process for you Internet and then I realised that a) while I love you, I don’t really want Amy’s full name on the Internet and b) I couldn’t be bothered photoshopping half a dozen photos to remove Amy’s surname and c) holding a camera and a hot iron at the same time is just stupid. So you get stock footage instead.
Bright Star Kids has lots of different labels for all kinds of things and I think that if they’re all as easy to use as mine, you should be pretty okay.
